Alison Moritz's alluring production of The Abduction from the Seraglio for Lyric Opera of Kansas City

Music Director Ludovic Morlot, known for his intriguing programming, outdid himself with a summery breeze of a program that enchanted from beginning to end.

A complex portrait of obsessive and destructive passion.

An updating of Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail to the post-World War One era in a desert fails to inspire in Aix. 

Unsuk Chin's opera Alice in Wonderland is performed by the Los Angeles Philarharmonic, conducted by Susanna Mälkki. This is no Disney movie! 

The Glimmerglass Festival's updated Ariadne in Naxos contains comedy, character and great singing.
